Hi, Mad: I'm so sorry to hear you have had a flood - I think, sadly, that the only way to save your orinetal rungs is to have them cleaned and dried prefessionally. Best wishes.
Best is to have a professional service come in and clean for you. If that isn't yet possible, if you have have or can borrow a shop vac, suck as much water out as you can. If you have someplace you can hang it up, like over a fence or draped over patio furniture, face down would be ideal. That will get you over the hump until other arrangements can be made.
Have the cleaners come to your house. Or do they not do that in your area? My carpet cleaning guys also clean my area rugs. Just glad you were able to get them dried out.
If you are going to dry it, make sure you can put it outside protected from the sun. Put it right side down and let the fresh air do it's work. Oriental rugs caught in a flood need professional care ideally. Good luck.
If you can not professionally clean it hang it on Aline or fence spray with a cleaner spray with water hose till cleaner is out then turn over good side away from sun and let drip dry then lay it on a flat surface like a driveway or grassy area
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

I agree with Pat. Flood water can contain quite a bit of nasty stuff. It is best to get them professionally washed.

I would take an oriental rugs to a Chinese laundry. They will know exactly what to do! 😁
Too heavy to move Thanks for your help,though. I’ll have them professionally cleaned later.
